Theatre and Performance Studies

About this course

Theatre and performance studies brings together the practical experience of making and performing with the critical and historical understanding of performance as a cultural form. It is a discipline that asks both how to make theatre well and why theatre matters, examining its history from ancient Greek drama through early modern performance to contemporary experimental and devised work, and developing your capacity to participate in performance traditions as both practitioner and informed analyst. The University of Bristol is one of the UK's leading institutions for theatre and performance studies, with an internationally regarded Drama Department that combines practical training with serious scholarly engagement. The programme, which includes a foundation year, accommodates students who want a supported transition to degree-level study before engaging with the full curriculum. You wil
